Stories, experiences, and feelings in this journey of life.
It’s summer break now. My Japanese class actually ended in the beginning of last May. I mean, I should’ve written about this sooner but my hand was kinda tied. Last semester might have been the toughest semester for me. I had to do comps and I even had to skip my Japanese classes for a…
I might have talked a lot about this guy but I haven’t properly told you about who he is or why I love him so much. Or have I? But, oh, well. Ikuta Toma is one of my most favorite Japanese actors. What I love about him or what I love about loving him is…
I could finally watch Yuuzai/My friend “A”. This is a new movie of Ikuta Toma’s (ok, I owe you a post about him. I will do it later). Well, it’s not that new of a movie actually. It was released last year (2018). Remember when I had a transit in Japan and planned to watch…
When I was asked to speak in the “Scholarship Hunting: Exploring the world through scholarship” seminar, the committee requested me to encourage the participants so that they could feel motivated in applying for a scholarship to pursue their study abroad at the end of the event. I felt – and still feel – “dilemmatic” 🙈😅 Here…
As you might have noticed and maybe I have said it myself too: I love stories. Books, movies. I love them. I mean, I don’t have all the time, money, and energy to experience everything in person myself. So I always find it exciting to look into other experiences from others’ stories or in books…
April 21 is celebrated as “Kartini Day” in Indonesia to commemorate the birthday of – and to honor – R.A. Kartini, one of Indonesian Heroines who fought for women’s equal opportunity for education. The other day I was invited to share my experience and to speak in one of the events that celebrated it. I…
Hello, now I’m going to review some of funny Japanese movies. Funny for me, at least 😀 For the previous movies and dramas, you can go here 😊 Teiichi no Kuni (Teiichi’s country): Battle of Supreme High This movie is truly hilarious. I can’t help laughing from the beginning till the end. What makes it…
Hatred is burdensome. It’s hard to be happy when you hate (so many things and) so many people. When you hate someone, you just can’t see him having fun or happy. You are angry all the time. You feel like you have to ruin the fun. You feel like you have to look like you’re…
Considering how long the reviews I wrote for the previous dramas and movies are (but I cannot help it T_T), I’ll try to keep it short this time, so I’ll just review several movies under the same theme. This time it is about “time”: why it’s precious and why we should value and appreciate the moment….
I might have said this before but when I go traveling, I try to get a postcard and send it to myself. Hence, one of our purposes during our winter road trip was to get a postcard from each state we visited or passed by. My friend didn’t send it to herself but she still…
